Right Guys

I have been away and i go away again next week so i prob wont be on here properly until sept...so if u hate my ideas text me ...07834993102

anywhooo
...

phil i proper took on board wht u suggested and proper thought about it over in italy. I read a book out there on the body in contemporary art. But anyway i thought it be a bore but might be useful for dissertation. Anyway...it wa good actually it showed me mostly performance work and how it have envolved by using the body. It was interesting but at the same time it just made kind of look at art in a different way. I was reading this thinking to myself why am i reading this in some aspects and most of the work was really 'outragious' nothing was suttle ( i sound like im contradicting myself) but some of the topics just in my opinion didnt need to be like that. It made me question this whole concept of contemporary art and why artists do is. Is there any particular reason for this.

Anyway i also been doing a lot of reading on alzeimers. You may not know but i work in an old peoples home and alot of the people there do have this disease . I was just reading it for please to get a clearer insight more just for my job and to be more proffessional and to understand the residents alot more. But it got me thinking.

As Phil you said the performance should be a video. I totally agree. I have been talking to a girl who is an artist here well known and her sister who is a medical student about this. She went into detail how it comes about ect. Its one of the liquids in the break counterbalance the other out which makes you confused and unclear. I thought the performance could be based on this. The flour could be this blocking of your mind the confusion. It may make me not hear as clearly. It be fustrating and annoying . Which is what i come across alot at work. I fount alot of artists who use their body but mine is more my body interacting with the environement i will be placing myself in. I would prefer a video performance as i would capture aspects that i could focus on.

ive read up on the artist martin creed and his sick film 2007 here is a link

i idealy would want the scene that clean and crisp i feel the focus wud be on jus the reaction of the person in the box. a transparent box so it can be seen at all angles. anywhooo im coming to newcastle for a couple of days and heard their is a medical library so im gonna steal some books out there to get this more detail for you guys...sorry this is very vague...
